Indialantic Elementary is excited to offer parents the opportunity to have lunch with their student on Tuesdays and Fridays!

The links will be published in the PTO Newsletter every Sunday at 4:00 p.m.:

Tuesday 9/12:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D45A9AA29A7FBC34-091223#/

Friday 9/15: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D45A9AA29A7FBC34-091523#/

For this to be a success, there are some guidelines that must be followed:

• Parents must be a couple of minutes early for their child’s scheduled lunch time.

• Parents should communicate with their child’s teacher that they will be coming for lunch.

• Parents must sign in at the front office and provide district approved identification.

• Parents will be escorted to the patio area and supervised if they are not a registered volunteer.

• Parents will eat lunch with their students on the outside picnic tables. 

• Parents WILL NOT be allowed in the cafeteria or at any other locations except those specified during this time. 

• Parents may only have lunch with their child.

• Please be mindful of time, students will only be available for lunch during their regularly scheduled 30-minute lunch time.  

• Your child will need to report back to the cafeteria before the end of their lunch period.

• Parents will need to sign out in the front office.

• If you have children in different grade levels, and you wish to have lunch with them all on the same day, you will need to volunteer during your wait time, or leave and return at each student's specified lunch times.

• Parents must always supervise their students during their time.

Indialantic students and staff are encouraged to wear dots to school for international Dot Day on September 15th!

International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009.

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.
